Running Accomplishments:

 I don't really keep good track, but here's what I found online:

Canyonlands Half '08: 1:34:35

Cherry Blossom 10 miler '08: 1:10:09 (alias jonathon strong)

Jingle All the Way 10k '08: 41:46

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I really need to develop new goals.  It's been a busy year both professionally (field work) and personally (wedding, move,...)

It's time to get back on track and commit to some racing goals for next year.

Long-Term Running Goals:

The long-term goals are much easier--to stay healthy and happy! 

Personal:

Live in Broad Run, VA with my wife; work at US Geological Survey.  Baby cat running around to catch mice in our old house.

Zero running miles today, ~1.5 hours mountain biking instead at Schaeffer Farms near Gaithersburg.  A stinking good time...it's been way too long!

6 miles on the WOD near home.  I have a tough time warming up these days--it takes me ~3 miles to do a sub-8:00.  Certainly due to low mileage for so long, so I'm not worried, but my mind still thinks I'm in better shape, so I get a bit disgruntled sometimes.  But then I sit back and realize how nice it is to be running, and it all drifts away.

Spent some time in they gym as well--chest, tris, abs.

3.5 miles after work and before a cocktail party.  HOT!  Sunny and muggy!

am: Registered for the Luray Triathlon.  Just a little sprint, but it should be fun!!

pm: 8 miles on the WOD. I had a mental block going on that told me that "my run" was 6 miles, so I said "screw that" and tacked on a couple more and felt way better than most of my 6'ers. Averaged exactly 8:00 miles. Gotta get that speed back...

pm: half hour lapswim, followed by gym.

I was running out of energy at the gym when I attempted some butterflies.  This was a mistake.  I commenced a rep while simultaneously turning my head (still with low energy) and my back popped rather disturbingly near my neck.  I've had pain since and am considering visiting a chiropractor.  Not fun repeatedly waking up from shocks of pain...

no running miles today, but I got in about 10 miles of swift hiking.
